Title
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH SAMBATECK, INC. FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE 2019 STREET RECONSTRUCTIONS PROJECT PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND FEASIBILITY REPORT, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 19-07
Background
On August 2, 2018 Council initiated a number of street projects for the 2019 Pavement Management Program. Staff has grouped the various streets into four separate projects based on location and type of construction as shown on the attached map. On September 12, 2018 the Engineering Department requested proposals from four local engineering firms for preliminary design and the preparation of feasibility reports for each of the four 2019 street projects.
Staff reviewed all four proposals and matched each of the four firms with one of the four 2019 Street projects based on the makeup and experience of the design team, project approach and understanding and similar project experience.
The 2019 Street Reconstructions project proposals were as follows:
|
Sambatek, Inc. |
$51,200.00 |
|
Bolton & Menk, Inc. |
$74,175.00 |
|
WSB & Associates, Inc. |
$85,882.00 |
|
Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. |
Did not submit |
After review of the proposals for this project area and the other three project areas, Staff recommends that Sambatek, Inc. is the best firm for this project area.
This contract is only for preliminary design and preparation of a feasibility report. After completion of the feasibility report and upon Council ordering the preparation of plans and specifications, a contract for design and construction administration will be negotiated with Sambatek. This project will be funded through proposed project assessments, Pavement Management Program funds, State Aid Funds and Sanitary Sewer and Water Utility funds.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with Sambatek, Inc. in the amount of $51,200.00 for the preparation of a feasibility report and preliminary design for 2019 Street Reconstructions project.
